5-Star Review for My House of Paws!…read more Brigitt at My House of Paws is absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped off Hershey, Reggie, and my sister's dog Nova, we knew they were in loving, capable hands. Brigitt has a natural connection with dogs and treats every pup like part of her own family. We received regular adorable Facebook photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. Her home is clean, safe, and full of positive, pet-loving energy. If you're looking for a dog boarding experience that feels like a second home, My House of Paws is it. We're so grateful!!

We had an incredible experience working with Manny at K9 Restored. Our puppy Frankie is a rescue…read moreand came to us very timid, unsure of herself, and struggling with basic obedience. From the very first session, Manny knew exactly how to meet her where she was. Over the course of her training, we watched Frankie gain confidence, learn structure, and completely transform her behavior. She's now calmer, more obedient, and carries herself with a level of assurance we never thought we'd see this early on. Manny didn't just train our dog -- he taught us how to support her long-term, and his approach was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. We couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands dogs and cares deeply about their progress, Manny is the one. Highly recommend!

Manny immediately recognized that Archie has an alpha personality and will gladly set the house rules, like who gets to sit on the couch, if no one else does! My little pack of dogs considers me to be the alpha, and Manny taught us both how to bring Archie in line. As part of the process, Manny helped me identify the traits needed by Archie's next adopters to ensure a successful adoption! Thank you, Manny!

Bethany is a great trainer and an amazing person. As soon…read moreas I got my rambunctious Aussie boy Bear at 8 weeks old, we had our first lesson in the PhDogs training field. She is extremely knowledgeable with puppy raising and socialization. We did a mixture of group classes and private lessons once Bear graduated puppy class. With Bethany's help, Bear has built a super solid foundation for sports and useful life skills. Bethany is a good problem solver. She often has creative solutions to curb behavior problems. Her methods are practical for real life situations and she listens to her clients well. Now that my boy is all grown up, we go to PhDogs for their awesome dock diving pool. The process of booking and using the pool is easy. Bear is always so excited to go there. When we occasionally go out of town, PhDogs is the only place I can trust to care for my high drive, intact boy. They also offer swimming lessons during the dog's stay. Bethany actually taught Bear how to swim when he was there for boarding :) I highly recommend PhDogs!!!

Luna engaged in a lot of leash pulling and some reactivity when she would see other dogs. Luna is now able to walk calmly and does not overreact when another dog is around or near her. Nova is an anxious pup and her board and train helped her be exposed to public areas, while working on her obedience, learning to settle, gained more confidence in herself and does really well with leash walking. Raymond was thorough and explained things with care and patience on how to continue their training at home, answered any question and concerns we had and provided us with feedback when he had us practice the tools he used with our girls. Def would recommend and come back for extra support in the future if needed.

After being told by another trainer that food aggression couldn't be fixed, we reached out to Arturo--and from the beginning, he was confident that he could help. From the very first training session, we noticed an immediate and positive change in Ivy's behavior. What truly sets Arturo apart is that he not only trains the dogs but also teaches the owners. Even though my husband and I both grew up with dogs, we didn't fully understand what proper training involved until working with Arturo. Thanks to him, we've been able to use the techniques he taught us to create a more peaceful and positive environment for both of our dogs. We are incredibly grateful to have met Arturo and for the guidance he gave us. His help has made such a difference in our home!

Not only does this store offer dog food (meats made ONLY for dogs that are free-range animals, no hormones, antibiotics etc) but they offer human food for vegetarians. She has fake meats, vitamins, oils. A smaller version of Clark's. The stuff is pricier but the quality is better. She has been my mentor in changing my dog's diet from kibble to cooking full-blown meals for my pup. Linda also offers EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), a type of therapy I recommend. She does classes the 2nd Saturday of every month and private classes. Her big thing is puppy/adult classes for dogs. However, she insists using clicker training and you must go through her basic clicker training class to be in the group classes.

Instead of choke…read morechains or punishments we use loving, positive, gentle techniques that create a relationship of mutual trust and respect. Using clickers, the puppy is first taught the meaning of a word before it is used as a command. Kindness teaching is not only positive reinforcement but also understanding and respecting the "dog's point of view." Problem solving is accomplished by properly defining the problem and setting up new rules. The rules are then carefully taught to the dog before they are enforced. This allows the dog to still do his doggy things within the family's guidelines.
